Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
Using a stand mixer blend all dry ingredients together. Add the butter water and eggs to the dry mixture and blend.
Step 3
To make Cake Pops: You will need a cake pop pan (can be found at Bed Bath and Beyond or Amazon.com) and 6-inch sucker sticks and a foam block (like a floral block) to allow pops to cool and set while decorating.
Step 4
Spray pan release on the cake pop pan. Add cake batter to the fill line of each hole.
Step 5
Secure the top of the cake pop pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from oven and let cool 10-15 minutes. Remove the top of the cake pop pan and gently run a butter knife around each cake pop to help release. Set cake pops aside.
Step 7
To make candy coating: Melt a 12 ounce bag of semisweet chocolate chips and or white chocolate chips in a microwave stirring often. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil if coating is too thick after microwaving.
Step 8
Prepare bowls with toppings. Dip the end of each stick in chocolate coating and press into one end of a cake pop.
Step 9
When all the cake pops have sticks place them in a freezer for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate (this will help hold the sticks in place while dipping into additional coating).
Step 9
When pops have chilled dip each pop in chocolate coating taking care to seal the chocolate around the base of the stick.
